Went to see Chorus by Ray Lee part of the Future City this evening at Salford Quays: Chorus, by British Composer of the Year 2012 Ray Lee, is a monumental installation of giant kinetic sculptures, a celestial choir of spinning sound machines. Towering above the audience, a series of giant metal tripods support rotating arms. At the end of each arm, loudspeakers emit precisely tuned musical pitches, singing out a siren call to all those present. Tiny lights create the effect of planets in motion, creating mesmerising orbits of colour. These intersecting lights trace rings above the heads of the audience, while the combined chorus of spinning speakers creates a hypnotic, harmonious whole that is both uplifting and transfixing.
